What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
If you need extract fan repair in Pirbright, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Extract fans in Pirbright
There are about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pirbright, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Pirbright, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. About 28 miles out from central London, Pirbright is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you manage a school such as Knowl Hill School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. For a takeaway near Brookwood station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Pirbright, can seize between uses.

Pirbright questions
Do you work at weekends in Pirbright?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Pirbright can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Pirbright?
The local authority for Pirbright is Guildford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Pirbright and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere as small as Pirbright, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we’ll talk you through it.
